    There is NO need for me to search a DAMN THING. Because I know the facts. Still waiting on your proof. You guys are just like Team Pacquiao...just throw out a bunch of Lies and Excuses and hoping someone will believe it.:-(

    You don't own ****. and if you were a business man, You'd understand Pac's point of view from a negotiating standpoint.

    Dude, you'd be happy if Floyd announced it was Canelo. Tell me as a fan, how you can be happy its NOT Manny Pacquiao?

    Dude stop it. If the offer was the other way around you would laugh your ass off. Even if Pac offered 60mil flat you would still defend Floyd. Infact Arum countered this offer with 45mil to Floyd.

    If Bradley isn't announced as Manny's next fight Pacland will literally implode on itself. Although if he does announce him the celebration will be shortlived as the realisation sets in.

    I don't see the Pacqiuao joyboys calling for JMM or Martinez and we will likely end up with someone like Lamont Peterson or Ortiz further tarnishing his 'legacy'!

    It doesn't matter what the deal was... Arum wasn't ever gonna do that fight on May 5th no matter what because he knows Pac will lose, just like he lost his last fight. He needs to squeeze out 2 more fights before he makes the Mayweather fight.

    Dude, Dana White cries about it all the time when defending his pay scale. I figured you would know that being an MMA hater.

    $65 a pop at 2 million is 130 Mil right? so where you get 500 million from?

    I wouldnt be happy if he didnt try to make the Pacquiao but obvislouy he did. from phone calls, to calling out on many media outlets, to talking to Koncz and offering 40 mil. Mayweather cant make Pacquiao fight him so he had to go to the next nest thing and thats Cotto.

    question for you, why do you hate Mayweather so much? what did he do to you?? because everytime im on here your talking crap and saying Mayweather didnt do this or that. do you think about him everyday in your life?? if so thats deep bro...

    without any PPV upside nor any profit from other revenues.

    so if you think 50/50 is not the best offer, then why didn't floyd accepted arum's counter-offer of $45M which is much more "generous"?

    face it, floyd ducked pacquiao to fight his leftover.

    GENERATE being the key word lol...revenue is not profit...have you heard of expenses? That's not 80-20. It just means that Mayweather/Haymon/Golden Boy will be funding/setting up and maily promoting the fight and Floyd will be investing in it fully from the arena, conssesions, advertisement, etc. These things GENERATE money but do not come without expenses and risk. Floyd gaurantees Pacquiao 40 million is a great offer with no risk attached. Pacquiao's last largest purse was $7.5M? The only person this offer hurts is Arum because he would only be entiled to commission and not % sahre in profit which is why it was not accepted. To fight Floyd now under his new business model, that's how it works. This is the same way Victor Ortiz was compensated. $40 million gauranteed out of a fight that probably will bring in an PROFIT of $100M (revenue devided by 2, so $200M/2 = 4100M, for simple argument sake) is roughly 50%. If the fight EARNS 150M, Floyd will benefit and make more money than Pac. However, if the fight less than 100M after all is said and done, Floyd's earnings are based on that and he must divide them up with all the partners and investors WHILE giving Pac $40M. In this situation Pacquiao could possibly earn more than Floyd (if 10M goes to Haymon etc.). Either way, Floyd has the ability to do this type of business so he should be rewarded for it if the fight is lucrative. Pacquiao, due his lack of proper advisors/promoters/intelect/conections/knowledge of the american capitalistic system, is unable to do business that way.

    I tried to get him to step up to the plate. We're talking about a $10 million dollar fighter that I tried to give $40 million dollars to, and we didn't even talk about the backend. Everything that everybody is hearing is a bunch of lies. I got proof. The proof is in the pudding. I got proof from all of my meetings with [PacquiaoÂ’s adviser] Michael Koncz.

    sorry bro i dont agree. Floyd didnt duck anybody, he even pushed his jail sentence back for a fight with Pacquiao!! More believe its the other way around, you one of the few that are still just blinded.

    why didnt Pacquiao want to fight Cotto at 154??? didnt he fight Margarito at that weight??? Now if you cant tell who has more balls then take them over your face
